How to Make Cream Cheese Pecan Pie

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1 large egg, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Pour the cream cheese mixture into an unbaked 9-inch pie crust.
Evenly sprinkle 1 ½ cups chopped pecans over the cream cheese layer.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup light corn syrup, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
Gently pour the egg mixture over the pecan and cream cheese layers.
Place the pie on the lower rack of the preheated oven.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. For best results, chill for at least 2 hours.
